Story Isn't That Original, But Still a Darn Good Time At The Movies

Rating: 10/10 (18 July 2013)

When I went to see Pacific Rim, I thought it was going to be a regular action movie with standard robots and explosions. But I was wrong! Pacific Rim has outstanding visual effects, great camera angles, and awesome battles. *spoiler alert* I was a little surprised when Yancy Beckett got torn out of the Jaeger named Gypsy Danger. *end of spoiler alert* There were a few mistakes throughout the film, like how other people besides Stacker Pentecost had nose bleeds for no apparent reason. It could have been explained, but I just didn't catch it. This was nothing that ruined the film, though. Also, the score of the movie was fantastic. They played it at just the right times. It was composed of only maybe 5 different notes, but hey, so was Close Encounters of the Third Kind. Now, the dialogue was a little cheesy, also nothing that ruined the film. It was pretty much pep talk, but, it was nothing bad. The makers of the film also knew when to add in a little bit of humor. You would think to find this type of comedy in low budget action comedies, but it was made better. I myself thought del Toro took a risk with this film, and I was surprised at how good it was. I am kind of disappointed that this film made less money than Grown Ups 2. Really people? Who goes to see Grown Ups 2 but not this? I was very surprise when I found this out. Let me think, am I forgetting anything? Oh! This movie was still great without all the big name actors (except Ron Perlman and Charlie Day). They really made the movie awesome.
I give this film 10/10 and I am definitely going to get it on DVD.
